Student Academic Success and Registrar

Registration forms must be signed by your academic advisor. No registration form for Directed Studies, Internships/Practicum or Thesis will be processed by the Registrar without completion of all appropriate forms.

All registration formalities should be completed by the start of the term/semester. Students who have not completed registration formalities are not allowed to attend class.

Registration into courses is done on a first-come, first-served basis; as courses get full very quickly, it is recommended to register for the upcoming term/semester as early as possible.

Students currently attending Webster Athens register for the upcoming session during their current session. All registration forms must be presented to the Business Office before taken to the Registrar. Only forms signed by the Business Office will be processed.

As a general rule, students are expected to attend all class sessions of every course. In case of unavoidable absences, the student must contact the instructor. Absences due to illness must be reported to the Registrar supported by a medical certificate. This is imperative in the case of foreign students who are in Greece for study purposes and hold a student visa.

Webster Athens reserves the right to involuntarily drop enrolled students from classes they do not attend during the first week of classes. The student is subject to appropriate academic penalty for incomplete or unacceptable makeup work, or for excessive or unexcused absences.

Students may change their schedules (drop/add) during the official drop/add period. Prior to the beginning of classes, students may add or drop classes with the approval of an academic advisor. After classes have begun, students may add a course with the approval of the academic advisor until the end of the first week of the term/semester. Students may drop classes through the end of the second week of the term/semester. Section changes in the same course will be approved or not at the advisor's discretion. Drop/add forms may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.

In order for schedule changes to be official, the academic advisor must sign the drop slip. Students who do not submit signed drop/add forms by the deadline will be graded and charged according to their registration on file at the end of the official drop/add period. Merely informing the instructor or advisor of the intent to drop a class or not attending a class will not constitute an official schedule change.

Withdrawal

Students may withdraw from courses after the official drop/add period. Students may withdraw from courses up to and including Friday of the sixth week of an eight-week course and the Friday of the twelfth week of a semester course. To withdraw, a student must submit a withdrawal form signed by the academic advisor.

Students who do not submit signed withdrawal forms by the deadline will be graded and charged according to their registration on file at the end of the official withdrawal period. Merely informing the instructor of the intent to withdraw a class or stop attending a class will not constitute an official withdrawal. All withdrawal forms must be presented to the Business Office before taken to the Registrar. Only forms signed by the Business Office will be processed.

The Certificate of Enrollment is an official document stating that you are an active student for the current term. Therefore, Certificates will only be issued to students who are currently enrolled and regularly attending courses.

To request a Certificate, please sign up at the Registrar’s office. Upon student account clearance, the document will be issued within three working days. If you have a “hold” on your records due to outstanding financial obligations, your certificate will not be issued, and you will need to contact the business office.

Male students who are Greek nationals and are registered at Webster Athens are eligible for deferment of their military service obligations [ΦΕΚ 157/2014].
